February Is Over

We are so grateful that Blake is doing better and that all were able to return home safely. We ended up making the most of our trip down there. We bought a fridge, glass top range, and a natural gas stove/fire place. All were used and purchased off of KSL and I think all in all we got pretty good deals. We were also able to take mom to a basketball game that we won, and go to another hard fought game that we came up two points short on. We visited with a few friends and got a little shopping in as well. It was nice to spend a little bit of time with Becky and her family, even though it wasn't under the best of circumstances. We were also able to visit with Katie's parents and brothers.

Katie's brother Justin, was in a single car rollover Friday night on his way to Malad from Logan. The car is totalled, but Justin is OK. He cut his hand up a bit, and I think the seat belt may have bruised him up a bit, but considering he rolled it four times, he is in great shape. We are so grateful that he was waring his seat belt and that he was not seriously injured.

We were expecting that everything would be in line to close today on the house. I have no idea why we expected that since nothing else has gone right with the house. Everything on our end is ready, and has been. Right now we are being held up with title. Not that it is the title company holding us up, rather the seller having liens against the home that is holding us up. We knew that there was one that we were waiting for them to clear up, but now there are several (4) that have come up since we signed our agreement. The seller is never around and seems to not want to take any responsibility. This is no surprise since they have been in bankruptcy once, losing their house, and have unpaid bills... It is really troubling that people feel no sense of responsibility for their actions. We are kind of over a barrel because if he just walks away and goes into foreclosure we are stuck with some costs for inspections etc., and it is obvious that it won't do any good to hold him liable to the sale contract because he doesn't pay anyone else. I am just so sick of the roller coaster ride we have been on. I hope we have some good news by the end of the week.
